冷刺激が皮膚毛細血管壁透過性に及ぼす影響

　緒言

　迷路刺激が生体に及ぼす影響に就いては，既に多くの研究者によつて観察され，自律神経機能に対しては主に交感神経緊張性に働くことが認められている。本実験は，迷路刺激と末梢血管の状態との関係を知るための一つとして皮膚毛細血管壁透過性について臨床的に観察した。

Taniguchi makes observations on changes that may be evoked in the permeability of capillary walls by application of cold stimuli. The material of this study is afforded by examination of 20 patient who appeared tosuffering from disturbances of inner ear fun-ctions with symptoms of vertigo, deafness or tinnitus aurium. The results are as fo-llow:

(1) Permeability changes are recognized in 9 patients : in 5 they are considered to be in a state of enhancement while, in the remai-ning 4 they appeared to be retarded.

(2) In these 9 patients it is shown that, with application of cold stimuli to those whoare considered to be normal in permeability, the procedure caused an enhancement of the process but, to those who are already affe-cted in this respect, it resulted in a retarda-tion.

(3) No relation is established between cha-nge the permeability of the capillary walls and other conditions present such as nystag-mus, the state of blood pressure or other signs that may be evoked by cold stimulation.
